This is the first study to investigate the use of BC and gelatin for cardiomyocyte adhesion and growth.Methods: Bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes were produced by Komagataeibacter xylinus and coated or mixed with gelatin to make gelatin-coated BC (BCG) or gelatin-mixed BC (mBCG) scaffolds, respectively. BC based-scaffolds were characterized via SEM, FTIR, XRD, and AFM. Neonatal rat-ventricular cardiomyocytes (nr-vCMCs) were cultured on the scaffolds to check the capability of the composites for cardiomyocyte attachment, growth and expansion.Results: The average nanofibrils diameter in all scaffolds was suitable (~ 30-65 nm) for nr-vCMCs culture. Pore diameter (≥ 10 µm), surface roughness (~ 182 nm), elastic modulus (0.075 ± 0.015 MPa) in mBCG were in accordance with cardiomyocyte requirements, so that mBCG could better support attachment of nr-vCMCs with high concentration of gelatin, and appropriate surface roughness. Also, it could better support growth and expansion of nr-vCMCs due to submicron scale of nanofibrils and proper elasticity (~ 0.075 MPa). The viability of nr-vCMCs on BC and BCG scaffolds was very low even at day 2 of culture (~ ≤ 40%), but, mBCG could promote a metabolic active state of nr-vCMCs until day 7 (~ ≥ 50%).Conclusion: According to our results, mBCG scaffold was the most suitable composite for cardiomyocyte culture, regarding its physicochemical and cell characteristics. It is suggested that improvement in mBCG stability and cell attachment features may provide a convenient scaffold for cardiac tissue engineering.","PeriodicalId":8929,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Letters","volume":" ","pages":"887-905"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141070298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The activities of α-amylase, β-amylase and free LD were increased with the addition of 2.5, 5 mM L-Cys at germination days 1 to 4. Due to higher amylase in malt with the addition of L-Cys, the non-fermentable sugars were reduced and the glucose, maltotriose were improved. Furthermore, the protein degradation analysis showed that low molecular weight protein increased and middle molecular weight protein decreased obviously in wort from the malt germinated with L-Cys, demonstrating that the L-Cys promote the protein degradation. Lastly, the filtration performance of malt with the addition of L-Cys during malting was better than the control.Conclusion: In conclusion, L-Cys can promote the degradation of storage material (starch, protein) during barley germination, leading to a better green malt quality.","PeriodicalId":8929,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Letters","volume":" ","pages":"861-870"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141445355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional chemical process of converting nitriles into the corresponding amides is feasible but is restricted because of the harsh conditions required. In recent decades, nitrile hydratase (NHase, EC 4.2.1.84) has attracted considerable attention because of its application in nitrile transformation as a prominent biocatalyst. In this review, we provide a comprehensive survey of recent advances in NHase research in terms of natural distribution, enzyme screening, and molecular modification on the basis of its characteristics and catalytic mechanism. Additionally, industrial applications and recent significant biotechnology advances in NHase bioengineering and immobilization techniques are systematically summarized. Moreover, the current challenges and future perspectives for its further development in industrial applications for green chemistry were also discussed. This study contributes to the current state-of-the-art, providing important technical information for new NHase applications in manufacturing industries.","PeriodicalId":8929,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Letters","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142186271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, accurate isolation and simultaneously quantification of sEVs remain a huge challenge. We have introduced a new technique that combines immobilization with aptamer-assisted dual cycle amplification to isolate and analyze sEVs with high sensitivity. In this method, the CD9 protein antibody is attached to the plate’s surface for the initial identification of sEVs, while an aptamer probe is used to detect the exosomal surface protein CD63. We have created an sEVs-surface method that combines target recognition initiated signal recycling and rolling circle amplification (RCA) for signal amplification. This approach allows for the “AND” logic analysis of dual biomarkers, enabling both sEVs quantification and tracing. The proposed approach has a broad detection range and a low limit of detection. Moreover, the established method showed good stability in detecting sEVs with a low coefficient of variation. Our method can effectively isolate certain sEVs and accurately identify them, making it suitable for many uses in biological science, biomedical engineering, and personalized medicine.","PeriodicalId":8929,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Letters","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142186270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of RNA expression levels of viral genes revealed disparities in plasmid derived gene expression between the cell lines. Further assessment of transfection efficiency utilizing labeled plasmids revealed lower plasmid uptake and less efficient nuclear transport in LP cell line. Additionally, we observed inferior translation activity in LP, contributing to its shortcomings in overall productivity.

Utilizing the Illumina MiSeq platform, 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing unveiled a core bacterial community in the solid material, showcasing notable variations in profiles. The research investigates changes in microbial communities and metabolic pathways to understand their impact on the efficiency of the digestion process. Prior to AD, the relative abundance in SWS was as follows: Proteobacteria > Bacteroidota > Actinobacteriota. Post-AD, the relative abundance shifted to Firmicutes > Synergistota > Proteobacteria, with Sporanaerobacter and Clostridium emerging as dominant genera. Notably, the methanogenic community underwent a metabolic pathway shift from acetoclastic to hydrogenotrophic in the lab-scale reactors. At the genus level, Methanosaeta, Methanolinea, and Methanofastidiosum predominated initially, while post-AD, Methanobacterium, Methanosaeta, and Methanospirillum took precedence. This metabolic transition may be linked to the increased abundance of Firmicutes, particularly Clostridia, which harbor acetate-oxidizing bacteria facilitating the conversion of acetate to hydrogen.","PeriodicalId":8929,"journal":{"name":"Biotechnology Letters","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
